Learning

Twelve months ago we became Sunshine Coast Libraries. In the months prior to amalgamation we learnt to work together to bring three library services into one. From Day 1, on 17 March 2008, we had one library card, one library website and, within a few months, one library system. It was a great achievement and we all played a part.

Now there is a new organisational structure taking shape. Libraries are in the Community Services Department and the Learning Communities Branch. We are much more than Libraries they say. We are about supporting lifelong learning and building community capacity. This is true. Everyday I see people of all ages learning in the library - learning to read, learning to play, learning to use a computer, learning a new skill.

And me, I'm learning to blog....
